What’s clear is that companies that prioritize the strategic management of their organizational culture – those that quantify, clarify and rigorously align culture – enjoy a statistically significant increase in retention, engagement, productivity and overall business performance. The impact of a strategically managed culture on an organization is not only measurable, it is the number one predictor of success.

At CLA, we have developed a suite of services and solutions that enable business and people leaders to mold and direct their company’s culture.

Decades of experience combined with real-time research and forward-thinking employee experience models e nsure our solutions will enable you to harness the power of a strong internal culture to foster an exceptional day-to-day work environment, recruit and retain more engaged workers, and deliver exceptional business performance.

Performance Driver
Organizational culture is the number one predictor of organizational success. When companies quantify, clarify and align their organizational culture – they enjoy a statistically significant increase in retention, engagement, productivity and overall organizational performance.
Alignment is Success
Research demonstrates that culture has an outsized positive impact on business performance when organizations consistently align all business processes against a small, targeted set of core values.
New Era Adaption
Culture is a significant driver of talent attraction and retention. However, the way in which organizations embody and deliver their culture must adapt to the new hybrid world of work. Culture in this new era will differentiate organizations that survive vs. those that thrive.
